The first book to speak out against the pervasive influence of the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on American politics, policy, and institutions resonates today as never before. With careful documentation and specific case histories, former congressman Paul Findley demonstrates how the Israel lobby helps to shape important aspects of U.S. foreign policy and influences congressional, senatorial, and even presidential elections. Described are the undue influence AIPAC exerts in the Senate and the House and the pressure AIPAC brings to bear on university professors and journalists who seem too sympathetic to Arab and Islamic states and too critical of Israel and its policies. Along with many longtime outspoken critics, new voices speaking out include former President Jimmy Carter, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney, Senator Robert Byrd, prominent Arab-American Dr. Ziad Asali, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and journalist Charles Reese. In addition, the lack of open debate among politicians with regard to the U.S. policy in the Middle East is lamented, and AIPAC is blamed in part for this censorship. Connections are drawn between America’s unconditional support of Israel and the raging anti-American passions around the world—and ultimately the tragic events of 9/11. This replaces 1556520735.

Silence is dangerous

August 6, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This author, a former elected member of the American congress, demonstrates the danger of silence through censorship; censorship being applied by whatever means, overt or covert. His case is the intimidation of the debate mechanisms (papers, radio, television, movies, books, university studies, congressional committees)by agents of a foreign government, namely Israel. Power has always existed in the free flow of information. Without access to opposing views no reasonable person can make a decision. Important issues must be weighed. This author clearly shows how this lack of information has left not only the American people ignorant of a critical issue, the Middle East crisis, but also the elected members of the american government being forced into obedience on issues they know within their soul to be immoral out of fear of being ostracized. The Zionist use of the charge, anti Semite, has long ago served its usefulness and should be ignored as a sign of weakness. The truth be known, the Palestinians are also descendants of Abraham through Ishmael, therefore they also occupy a place as a Semitic people. The question should be asked by the halls of congress and by the American people, " who are the true anti Semites?" We must find the courage to move this issue forward toward a resolution. Reading this book shows the power of this leviathan, but it also reveals the key to its defeat; understanding, engaging and then confronting the agents of influence, the lobbies of foreign governments.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Well written - lots of footnotes for people who desire to dig deeper - spot on, but that's to be expected because the author is a Washington DC insider (as a former member of Congress he can speak out where current representatives and senators must tow the line). Buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

Eye opening and fascinating

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book completely changed my mind. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the Israeli Palestinian conflict who thinks we should continue to give Israel billions of dollars and massive military equipment as well as 8 million dollars a day, while we continue to have decaying infrastructure and Americans without food.
